Chris Harris Drives RWD Porsche Taycan: World's Longest EV Drift Record Attempt | Top Gear
Did we just say 'rear-wheel-drive Taycan'? You're damn right we did. Because here we find Chris Harris attempting to set a world record for the longest drift in an electric vehicle, and Porsche have lent Harris a Taycan devoid of its front drive shafts especially for the challenge. But can he get his crossed-up hands on the world record? Let's find out.

Does anybody know if the wheels on the black Taycan are the OEM 19" Aero wheels that are just blacked out?
I would like to see this car drift on dry grounds.
what si an ev drift
dennis retera is so good at drifting
I'm just wondering though what cost options did this Taycan have fitted you can have all sorts fitted like Adaptive air suspension (The Rear wheel drive Taycan has steel spring suspension as standard) four wheel steering, Porsche dynamic chassis control, Porsche Torque Vectoring plus, did this car have any of them fitted or was it just standard?
Notice that they picked the entry level 19" wheels to do this. But they blacked them out first.
And now the RWD Taycan is coming. And its quite cheap :)
The Taycan (no Turbo, S or 4S) model is here. RWD only, 500 hp, 2000 kg.
that fake noise is so damn awful
Dumbest record ever. Who cares about this kind of stuff..
The design is amazing but the rims look hideous.
PRO VS chris
The eye of that eye witness expert is 🔥
If the gustapo had cars in 2021
What a job to have. Expert eye witness.
Everything would be better with the trio's!
10:39 "No power" sounds like F1
Big Gz man !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! u r the DK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chris Harris is my favourite driver😍 Greetings from Ghana 🇬🇭
I totally AGREE with Chris. My Dad has a 996.2 911 Turbo and a Peugeot 205 GTi 1.9. If he asked me what I wanted to have a go in I’d be daft not to say the GTi
Ken block would Destroy this challenge
who cars about chris, how about that Guinness official
Top Gear without Clarkson & friends is utterly boring and could be mistaken as sleep medication. Total waste of everything involved. Absolutely dreadful. Should have called it Top Sleepy Pill Boring Retirement Home Dreadful Junk Lame Vegan Fatfree Dozer
Keep in mind thats 72 mph for 19 laps he should be puking all over the place
Porsche makes some dog shit masks apparently
Lmao shortest world record holder ...a world record set...just to be broken 1 hour later...yea now that's world record.
This video and the new 911 Gt3 are so sponsored content, that need to have a Disclaimer. Mr Harris, I follow you since your days at Autocar, you are known for being not comercial journalist this is too much...
Denis!!! My instructor back in 2019 PWRS
12:02 no James may holds that one (veyron)
Why does he say “never go clockwise, always go anti clockwise.” ?
Nope u didn’t set for shortest time the shortest is like 5 seconds
Chris receiving the award was a like the intro to an 'adult film ' .....
...You also need bleach...
Бред! Думал будет на обычном сухом асфальте, а тут тупой бублик и доливом воды
I drive a Boxster 2,7 6 cylinder , 220 horse power . From 2002 . Blows my mind still everyday . Best cars in the universe .
Chris is a legend, changed the auto journaling world for the better.
Think James May might have held a record for even shorter
what r those sounds its making
9:48 best use of a drone shot ever
Chris is catching up to Jeremy as the most popular car journalist (petro-head/gear-head) especially considering that you have to pay to watch the Grand Tour
This is amazing
I call it the power pedal
so confused how it even counts as a drift when there's water on the track but oh well still fun to see EV porsches
First of All, Congrats Chris, secondly I believe you had to have edited the video when you came out of the car, you looked more fresh than in the last lap, Third, how Ironic the Porsche Driver is wearing a Polo with Mobile1 badge on it while driving an EV,
nausea meds, maybe even an arm workout before hand?! Not really wall of death stuff guys... 3/10
Didn't know you can wear shorts in Germany late November.
Chris: "I'm feeling sick and it's getting hot in here" Me: "Then put the bloody window down" First thing Dennis does when he gets in the car: ...
Why is this show still called top gear?
Didn't fancy just doing a SCC and claiming you broke a record and making up the figures then Chris? :D
0:11 ... WOW ... that is a REALLY UGLY LIGHT BLUE
That was great!
HILARIOUS! ALL THE STEPS TAKEN HERE TO PROVE AND SUBSTANTIATE THIS RECORD IS IN DIRECT RESPONSE TO THE SSC CONTROVERSY. LOL
기네스 직원분 너무 예쁘다 목소리도 예쁘고 그냥 아름다우시네 😍😍
The other dude does it once and kills it
As I was watching Chris, I thought to myself, "As good a driver as Chris is, how could he possibly do better than the guys who are driving these cars all day every day?" Made me smile to see Dennis jump in there and get his due!

Gordon Ramsey critics in Cooking and Kitchen. Chris Harrris: The Matador of Car World.
Able to choose drift angle soon with the technology 👌🏻 Maybe the solution to have a cheaper Taycan. RWD, and 400hp would be enough fir a daily drive 👍🏻
3:39 i paused for a minute . give that camera man a raise .
Top Gear benefits greatly from the good chemistry between Chris and Porsche.
that was amazing, congratulations. Question, The guy said always go anticlockwise will doing this type of drifting, Why is that then? Love to know the answer.
Imagine how could have the ear drums felt after all these laps if done in any of those loud ICE race track car !
Another record video on Top Gear, just as the brilliant success of the SSC Tuatara clip? :-D
Accelerator and Acceleration. Why is everyone having such difficulty replacing words like throttle, gas-pedal etc...
You can see how Chris is used to drifting around english roundabouts (he chose clockwise) and Dennis is used to European roundabouts (anti clockwise)... not that they’d do that on a public road...!
Nice porsche add.
Car 👍👍 Track 👍 Driver 👍👍👍
Wouldn't be a German without the word Efficient
Why the difference between clockwise or anti clockwise
Truly awesome. Thanks for bringing this to the Internet!
I don't really like the new top gear. Bring back the old top gear
This is crap. Do it on dry surface.
“You’re officially amazing” nice
I hate that fake sound
Sub- thirties Porsche managers and pilots getting to know the king of driving and drifting , Mr. Chris Harris. Well done chaps. He drifts just for fun having breakfast inside the car if he needs to 😉
why do loads of electric cars have ugly ass wheels?
Dennis Opened the Window!! Smart move!
we want sound. we want MOTORS.
I remember 10 years ago Top Gear was a monopoly
A hour of range drifting with no AC? looks like the next record will be owned by a Tesla, not a Porsche.
This is insane! Someone please put some engine noise to this!
that sound 0:54 what was that
Drifting without muffler sound 😳 Don't count drifting 😁
I'm not amazed chris is a professional
Q7 טוב יותר נשבע
So did they just invite him there to embarrass him?
do it dry
4:31 expert eye witness??? That's her post???
Awesome driving Chris, some people have no idea how difficult this really is. Hammond tried the same circuit on the grand tour and could hardly do a lap so it proves how skilled Chris Harris really is. Well done Sir 👍
So Chris was like a World Record holder for all of like 30 mins
Put some sunclasses on? LOL
Why did Chris go clockwise, whereby the A pillar is restricting his view? Clearly easier anti clockwise where you can stare out the entire windscreen...
Chris is insane at drifting and we all know that and seeing Dennis absolutely school him shows how incredible these guys who do it professionally are.
Lol next week To gear: Harris drifts Tesla model 3 performance with track mode for 20 miles. Harris: The Porsche was so much better
I'll have the 992 gt3 over this thanks!
"You're officially amazing!" Gave me a chuckle. Guinness book of records has become a farce.
hosting a world class show in dull t shirt, shorts and shoes that don’t match
some says he is still drifting 😂
where's the people who used to make fun of drifting? hah!
Quite a few laps? 211 laps what a champ!
And Dennis didn't get a World record?? 😵
